Post Quantum Cryptography
(PQC) Advisory
The quantum computer that breaks today's encryption may be years away. The adversaries harvesting your encrypted data today are not. Cybernonics helps enterprise leaders understand their quantum exposure, prioritize cryptographic migration, and implement NIST-approved quantum-resistant algorithms before the window closes.

The Clock Is Already Running
Nation-state adversaries are executing "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks today — collecting encrypted enterprise data with the intent to decrypt it once quantum computers become available. Your most sensitive data — financial records, IP, health data, state secrets — has a shelf life measured against quantum timelines, not your current encryption strength.
Enterprise cryptographic migrations take 10–15 years. The organizations that start now will be protected. Those that wait will not.
The PQC Migration Timeline
Regulatory deadlines are accelerating. The migration window is narrowing.

ExistentialOur PQC Advisory Services
End-to-end quantum readiness — from exposure assessment to quantum-resistant implementation.
Cryptographic Inventory & Risk Assessment
Catalog every cryptographic algorithm, key, certificate, and protocol across your enterprise — identifying RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman dependencies that are vulnerable to quantum attacks.
Quantum Threat Modeling
Assess your organization's specific quantum risk exposure — including harvest now, decrypt later (HNDL) attacks targeting your most sensitive long-lived data assets.
NIST PQC Algorithm Implementation
Deploy NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms — ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber), ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium), and SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) — across your cryptographic infrastructure.
Crypto-Agile Architecture
Design cryptographic agility into your systems — enabling rapid algorithm transitions as the quantum threat evolves and new standards emerge, without costly re-architecture.
PKI & Certificate Migration
Migrate your Public Key Infrastructure to quantum-resistant certificates — covering TLS, code signing, document signing, and identity certificates across your entire digital estate.
Regulatory & Compliance Alignment
Align your PQC migration with NIST SP 800-208, NSA CNSA 2.0, CISA PQC guidance, and sector-specific mandates — ensuring compliance readiness as quantum regulations solidify.
